Flowers in Boxes in Delhi

Flowers in boxes in Delhi: a lid, handles and macarons in one order

Flowers in boxes in Delhi can arrive with something sweet alongside them: alongside the hat boxes and flower handbags, a separate line pairs the flowers with boxed macarons. The first choice is how the gift lands in someone's hands and where it stays after that; the flowers inside come second.

A hat box for both hands, a flower handbag for the right one

Across Delhi, a gift usually passes from giver to receiver with both hands, or with the right hand on its own, and a flower box follows that same lead. A hat box with its lid is held out in both hands, in front of the giver, while a flower handbag is passed over by its handles with one hand only.

Since the box itself is the wrapping, its colour reads as the colour of the gift. Red, maroon, gold, yellow and green count as fortunate choices here, and black or plain white boxes are usually left aside. Beside the round hat box, the section also keeps a Designer Cylinder No. 1, a taller shape for the same two-handed gesture.

A handbag suits a recipient who will carry the flowers onward, perhaps straight from the door to a desk. A hat box suits one who will set it down on a table and leave it where it landed, lid and all.

Ecuadorian or French roses, or a box built round a peony

The catalogue for Delhi mixes a handful of flowers inside these boxes: Ecuadorian and French roses, roses paired with lisianthus, lilies, gerberas, hydrangea and peonies. The catalogue includes Ecuadorian and French roses, both of which sit well against maroon or gold card.

White flowers, and garlands in particular, carry associations with mourning in parts of India, so a plain white box is not the safe, go-anywhere gift it might be in another city. A box leaning on red, maroon or gold reads as the steadier choice when the occasion or the recipient isn't entirely clear. Rose Day and Diwali both bring a rise in orders, and the flowers in Delhi hub covers the city's dates and weather in full.

Anyone set on the two-handed gesture above can start straight from the hat boxes themselves rather than from the flower inside them.

Jute pots, crates and hanging baskets for a Lodhi Colony or Rohini home

A jute pot sits on a shelf, a wooden crate sits on the floor, and a hanging basket swings from a hook; none of them are built to be carried around once they arrive. Lodhi Colony and Rohini are two of the areas across Delhi where these boxes get delivered.

The stems rest in wet floral foam inside the box, not in a vase, so no one needs to fill anything with water when it arrives. The foam needs daily watering, a thin stream over its whole exposed surface rather than just near the stems, and the box should never be tilted once it's in place. May in Delhi runs hot, and the flowers in Delhi page has more on the city's weather through the year.

The compositions in jute pots suit a desk or a windowsill, while the crates and hanging baskets line reaches a porch, a balcony rail or a spot with no table at all.

Flower box delivery in Delhi with macarons sharing the order

Flower box delivery in Delhi doesn't have to stop at flowers: the macarons in boxes line lets a box of macarons travel in the same order as the flowers, with the sweets and flowers arriving together rather than as two separate deliveries.

Delivery happens the same day for most orders, with the precise timing shown on each box's own page rather than quoted here. Before the courier leaves, the florist photographs the finished box, giving the sender a look at it ahead of delivery. A card can be added free of charge, and if there's no address to give, the recipient's phone number is enough to get the box there. Hotels and orders placed from outside the city follow the same routine, covered on the flowers in Delhi page along with the rest of the city's delivery details.

Delivery zones and timing in full sit on the delivery page.

A hat box or a flower handbag is the place to start, depending on whether the gift travels on or stays put, and macarons can join either one in the same order. From there, hat boxes, flower handbags and macarons in boxes are the three places to look first.
